Reflecting on the FPD career of Albert Rincon, the man accused of serially sexually assaulting women in the back of his patrol car, made me think about the creep that hired him, and the standards that were applied to the recruit.

We have seen from the facebook page of “Albey Al” a preening, self-absorbed, utterly shallow weasel. Okay that’s bad enough. What makes Albey Al Rincon’s presence on the Fullerton police force even more revealing is the virtual illiteracy of a grown man who can not spell, let alone write complete or even intelligible sentences. This begs the question of what sort of standards Pat McKinley applied to his recruits. After all, he hired Rincon, just like all the others.

But are there no basic academic qualifications required to be a Fullerton cop? Apparently not.

Narcissism and ignorance are a bad combination, and the complete lack of moral scruples rounds out the McKinley recruit profile. Now give ‘em a badge and a gun and let ‘em hit the streets of Fullerton! McKinley has yet to disavow Rincon as some sort of “alien;” and why should he? They are kindred spirits.

McKinley set the FPD bar so low that even a morally vacuous, messed up ignoramus like Albert Rincon could slither over it. Despite the pleas from FPD apologists about all the good cops employed by the department, we are justified to question that claim, given the mere presence of Rincon on the force; somebody thought he was not only fit for duty, but that he deserved to stay on duty after all the charges leveled against him.

The really dangerous thing is that the FPD and anti-recall crew don’t want us to talk about Rincon. Or Mater. Or Major, or Mejia, or Hampton, or Thayer, or Tong, or Baughman, or Nguyen, or Solario, or Siliceo, or any of the other police department employees who have given the City a series of black eyes. They want the public to think that a couple cops maybe, just maybe, got a little over-excited one hot night last July, and that Kelly Thomas’ death is a lone example of miscreance being exploited for political purposes.

Well, despite Acting Chief Hughes protestations, there has been and still is a Culture of Corruption in the FPD. The fact is that McKinley’s twisted chickens are finally coming home to roost. The repercussions will be prolonged and painful, emotionally and economically. But after June 5th McKinley will just be an noxious footnote in Fullerton’s history. The clean up will take a while.

“The really dangerous thing is that the FPD and anti-recall crew don’t want us to talk about Rincon. Or Mater.

That’s the system I was talking about Merijoe. The standard system used by most PD’s these days has the video in the car that is activated once the red light is activated, or manually by hitting the DAR on the belt. That also activates the system in the car which has a mic in the rear cage area that is used to record conversations between suspects, or anything else. It all downloads into the server once you pull into the police station. Fullerton doesn’t have that system. They just have a system that you turn on when you can on your belt with storage done manually. Old. Ancient.

…some things never change. I was looking at the city web site this morning, and noticed a link for Fullerton’s Most Wanted. I also noticed that the crimes that were committed in each and every instance are over 20 years ago! Guess who the Detective is that was assigned to crack this case? Yes, it’s our own President of the Fullerton Police Officer’s Union, and defender of noise standards during the Kelly Thomas protests, “Detective” BARRY COFFMAN!

But they have money for over 200 raincoats and money they’ve been skimming from the water bills for years, but they can’t put any aside for something for public safety, I guess bullets and tasers are enough for public safety.

There’s no laws or rules about cops having either or. It’s just a choice of command staff and comes down to money. Some systems are very nice, and work almost all on their own. Some are just cheesy and they are DARs in a belt holder and they are manually operated. Some are even just downloaded when needed, deleted when not.

Yes money is the issue for sure. Rain jackets are a drop in the bucket out of asset forfeiture. This system is probably close to a million dollars to do it right in the units and to have the right servers. They need to be kept up to a year, so that’s probably a million in servers right there. Departments have to confiscate a lot of money to asset forfeiture to get that system purchased these days.

Right on cue FS. My husband and I were discussing this very issue last night. I could see if we lived in a city like Los Angeles where there are more officers employed because of the amount of citizens living in its county how a handful of corrupt officers aren’t a “big deal”. Unfortunately we live in a small town where this handful of corrupt officers is unacceptable. The basic math in this equation is intolerable.

Today Fullerton police released a sketch of a man suspected of sexually assaulting a Fullerton College student last month.

The man, who didn’t know his victim, came up behind her, shoved his hand up her skirt and grabbed both her buttocks and genital area, police say. Before walking away, the man locked eyes with this victim.

Police suspect the man is also a student at Fullerton College. Anyone with information should call Detective Ron Bair at (714) 738-6762 or (714) 738-6716.

Oh yeah, that smells like the work of Albert Rincon and the visual similarities between the sketch and Albey Rincon photo can’t be ignored.

Hell, I encourage everyone to read the court transcripts from two of his victims

There is no law that requires Police Departments to record contacts. In fact the attempt to add transparency has backfired in many cases. The FBI does it right.

A Justice Department advisory committee is reviewing an FBI policy that encourages agents to document interviews with criminal suspects the old-fashioned way: with a paper and pencil.

The practice has been a point of contention within the Justice Department, particularly as more state and local law enforcement agencies use video and audio equipment to record custodial interviews.

With few exceptions, agents’ handwritten notes, summarized in typewritten documents called 302s, are the only records available to prosecutors and defense lawyers. The policy forbids agents from electronically recording confessions or interviews without authorization by their Special Agent in Charge.

A subcommittee of the Attorney General’s Advisory Committee of U.S. Attorneys recently began examining recording practices nationwide, Justice Department and FBI officials said. The advisory committee is an influential policymaking body whose recommendation bear the weight of the U.S. Attorney community.

In the past, the bureau and other federal law enforcement agencies have strongly argued against proposals that would require agents to electronically record interviews, on the grounds that they could hinder rapport-building, discourage suspects from speaking candidly and expose juries to unsettling interrogation techniques.

Just like I pictured him! He looks exactly like someone who would prey on 40 year old tweeker girls leaving bananas on raymond ave, NOT!! Please go to bananas and ask to speak/look at the owners daughter and when u look at her picture 7 of her friends who look exactly the same and if u dont feel like vomitting, like u would when looking at ERIN, then you like white trash inbreeds

My client Andrew Goodrich has been exonrated of any misconduct alleged by the owners and employees of this blog known as Friend of Fullertons Future they being Tony Bushala, Tavis Kiger and Chris Thompson. I emplore you to cess and desist anymore slanderous comments which you know will cause further injury to the reputation of Mr. Goodrich.

Reality Is :That’s the system I was talking about Merijoe.

O the ol DAR, that damn thing, seems to be shut off, by the ilk of Rincon, or brady cop Mater. So, what do we do, when they refuse to keep the current DAR’s on or in working order?

Why do they download when you pull into the station?
Is that (the download) automatic or manual?
Is there a system that stays on continually and continually downloads that cannot be accessed by the officer? That type of system would bring more accountability IMHO.

We are angry taxpaying, bloggers who will pop the truth in your ass about the corrupt, stupid, and ugly FPD includeing Goodrich. Don’t look for respect or anything else, here or anywhere else.

And for all you whiners/douche-bags – here’s the law: “It should be noted that opinions cannot be considered slander, defamation or libel as it is protected by the constitutional free speech.” ha-ha. bite me.

How else would you want them to download? They are held in the unit, unaccessible and unalterable, until the unit is pulled into the station. Then it automatically downloads to the main server. No one can interrupt or change that download or stop it or change it. The data is stored on the main server for whatever period that PD wants to hold the data. Obviously, data means money, so 30 days or 60 days or whatever the server will hold.

Yes, automatic.

No, something that is on 24/7 for every cop would be nice, but the amount of data would be huge and costly. Always possible, sure. Most record when the forward facing red light is activated, or when manually activated at the belt. The officer can’t destroy or alter the recorded data on the system I’m talking about. If they destroy the DAR it wouldn’t matter, that’s just a control device. Destroying the DAR occurs on the type of digital recorders that hold the data and then it’s manually downloaded to a server. So destruction prior to download, and no backup.

Interesting. Wonder if this is true. I was predicting a huge lawsuit against FFF and Tony soon, but didn’t know for sure. There are so many things said on here that are slander and untrue. Will be interesting to see if they actually sue for it.

Joe, you would be surprised what isn’t actually protected free speech. I’ts not a free for all that’s for sure.

I did a quick search for Nathan and don’t see anything. Probably just a troll LOL

What about voice activated to eliminate excessive data and data that is automatically sent via cell towers and stored for (whatever amount of time) and then deleted if nothing (citizen complaint, etc.) triggers a review?

There is everything out there. Just takes money. I guess ideally you would want them on all the time and stored for up to a year right? Well, that is a huge amount of data. So then what, 30 days? Most of the FFFF complaints are a year ago so then none of the recordings would be there anymore so then a big coverup right? Then they can’t record personal conversations with family or friends on breaks, so they go off then. It’s tough. There are awesome systems out there and 9 times out of 10 they work in favor of the officers with complaints that are lies or made up. I think Fullerton should come up with $1,000,000 and buy a new age system and do it right. It will only work to the benefit of the cops.

Your defensive tone is pretty counterproductive to constructive conversation IMO, makes me want to walk away when really I am inquisitive and have good intentions. Is that intentional?
Irregardless, looks like Fullerton is looking down the barrel of some pretty hefty lawsuits so the 1M accountability investment and the PR it could generate might make mathematical sense or maybe look like the PD is trying to restore public trust.
Puzzled why conversations cannot be recorded on breaks…if the officer consents to it, what is the problem?

If officers consent, sure. Case law doesn’t allow an employer to record personal conversations. I really don’t need FFFF knowing my vacation plans and personal discussions during my breaks. Sometimes you and I all talk about things others don’t need to know about.

I don’t think the personal conversations should be public knowledge but if they are recorded by omission and filtered out by a neutral party, seems harmless to me but to each his own….besides I never go on vacation anyway.

Fred and truthseeker, good comments, lol….By the way is Erin missing in action bcuz shes still hung over from the drag queen contest on saturday at Big’s sports bar on st college? Heard she and bunny had a great time even though Erin came in 2nd place. Its good to know the owner so I can post surveillance video on youtube. You can see how erin/aaron?, bunny, and crew get ready to drive off drunk but see the cops outside and run back inside to call a taxi…smh

tu sabes :Just like I pictured him! He looks exactly like someone who would prey on 40 year old tweeker girls leaving bananas on raymond ave, NOT!! Please go to bananas and ask to speak/look at the owners daughter and when u look at her picture 7 of her friends who look exactly the same and if u dont feel like vomitting, like u would when looking at ERIN, then you like white trash inbreeds

I met a group of mexican she- whores, your ugly tia & hermana who pretty much deserved, being molested, because, you know they are illegal….sounds bad huh? why? because it is! as sick and narrow minded as what- you just stated. Am I missing something here, because they were not your fuckable ilk they ( who ever you dont find attractive) get to be molested, because your flag of superficiality, how are you any better than Rincon or Wren. Dude I wish your mom had swallowed.( for the record I have not 1 issue with mexicans, I used that ethnicity to prove a sick point to..Mr Sabes.
aside from him…sorry If I offended anyone.

Tuco says the Data cost to store this is NOTHING! You would not believe the amount of data stored of cell phone conversations, etc. Data storage is cheap. It could store EVERYTHING for one year and the cost would not be prohibitive.
Everyone is an expert, NOT. So do not say things are prohibitive in our high technology age. All the recorders should be on for the entire shift recording everything. Only when back in the office can they be turned off since they are not interacting with the public.
The watch commander should have one on too ALL THE TIME.

Tuco should write up a proposal with costs and present it to the council then. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, continuous recordings for at least 50 people to be safe, all video and audio, for a year. If that’s cheap, write it up. Then all that is left is all the equipment audio and video for the units and belts. Google it and call a supplier. You will see what the price is right away.

I think there is a difference between people like all of us randomly posting replies to a blog and saying half truths as we do it, and the owner or the blog itself posting things about people that are half truths and slander. Magazines and blogs get sued all the time for putting up false information about people, and end up paying out money also.

Just curious ACU, is your identity known to all here? I think I’m about as much known as you are right? You just offer to be known but haven’t proven that right? Or are you putting your full name out there for all to know?

A federal judge in Oregon has ruled that a Montana woman sued for defamation was not a journalist when she posted online that an Oregon lawyer acted criminally during a bankruptcy case, a decision with implications for bloggers around the country.
Crystal L. Cox, a blogger from Eureka, Mont., was sued for defamation by attorney Kevin Padrick when she posted online that he was a thug and a thief during the handling of bankruptcy proceedings by him and Obsidian Finance Group LLC.
U.S. District Judge Marco Hernandez found last week that as a blogger, Cox was not a journalist and cannot claim the protections afforded to mainstream reporters and news outlets.
Although media experts said Wednesday that the ruling would have little effect on the definition of journalism, it casts a shadow on those who work in nontraditional media since it highlights the lack of case law that could protect them and the fact that current state shield laws for journalists are not covering recent developments in online media.
“My advice to bloggers is to get your shield law improved so bloggers are covered,” said Lucy Dalglish, executive director of The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press. “But do not expect the shield law to provide you a defense in a libel case where you want to rely on an anonymous source for that information.”
The judge ruled that Cox was not protected by shield law from having to produce sources, saying even though Cox defines herself as media, she was not affiliated with any mainstream outlet. He added that the shield law does not apply to civil actions for defamation.
Hernandez said Cox was not a journalist because she offered no professional qualifications as a journalist or legitimate news outlet. She had no journalism education, credentials, or affiliation with a recognized news outlet, proof of adhering to journalistic standards such as editing or checking her facts, evidence she produced an independent product, or evidence she ever tried to get both sides of the story.
Cox said she considered herself a journalist, producing more than 400 blogs over the past five years, with a proprietary technique to get her postings on the top of search engines where they get the most notice.
“What could be more mainstream than the Internet and the top of the search engine?” she said.
Padrick, of Bend, Ore., was a trustee in a bankruptcy case involving Summit Accommodators, a company that helped property owners conduct real estate transactions in a way to limit taxes. Three executives face federal fraud and money laundering indictments.
The lawyer sued Cox for defamation, a legal fight that is typically difficult for plaintiffs to win. Public figures, for example, must prove the defendant knew the statement in question was false, and the statement must be matters of public interest.
The judge found that Padrick was not a public figure, and that the bankruptcy case was not in the public interest. The ruling opened the way for a jury to award $2.5 million to Padrick and Obsidian.

Cops are eligible to retire at 50, but that’s not at a maxed out percent. 3% per year of work at 50. So some retire at say 75% at 50. Some max out at 55 and retire at 55. Some never retire. I know a 75 year old cop right now that will never retire and he loses money by working everyday. Most retire at 55, some around 60. Just depends on when they started, how many years of service, and what retirement plan their departments have.

Wheres Erin? :Fred and truthseeker, good comments, lol….By the way is Erin missing in action bcuz shes still hung over from the drag queen contest on saturday at Big’s sports bar on st college? Heard she and bunny had a great time even though Erin came in 2nd place. Its good to know the owner so I can post surveillance video on youtube.

You are so stupid, they came in a cab.Ding bat. They left in a cab. Thank god your tailing Erin and Bunny…that whole cab thing must have been so confusing..get a life for fuck sake.

All that cyber stuff is tough. Ask the FBI. Proving that someone is posting something is tough. Yes you can narrow it down to a house or time, but without admitting it, it could have been a number of people posting. If it’s serious, they will figure it out, i.e. against OBama or something. Cyber crimes is a whole different animal.

Quirk-Silva’s statement said. “I will also call upon members of the city council to join me in a motion to stop any further diversions of water revenues to the general fund until these questions are answered.”

Oh, NOW Quirk is concerned about the water scam. Where was she last year when it was uncovered? Quiet as a church mouse.

We know what you’ve done and they know what you’ve done. Its only a matter of time until your badge buddies have no choice but to come a knocking on your door.

And oh yeah your girls Amanda and Jenny aint going to risk their careers to give you a heads up about an investigation. Plus you’re a gross serial rapist and a potential serial killer which is a major turn off for most ladies.

Question is how are you going out my friend?

If you decide go out like the coward you are, tell all of your victims families why you did it so they can have peace of mind.

The fact that you can’t spell, don’t know the difference between slander and libel and that you’re “warning” nameless people on a public blog leads me to believe you’re not an attorney in which case, practicing law without a license is illegal. Or you’re a really stupid one in dire need of remedial courses but the only one Goodwipe could get.

“This narcissistic need for an audience manifests itself in other circumstances. Sadists strive to humiliate people in front of witnesses. This makes them feel omnipotent. Power plays are important to them and they are likely to treat people under their control or entrusted to their care harshly: a subordinate, a child, a student, a prisoner, a patient, or a spouse are all liable to suffer the consequences of the sadist’s “control freakery” and exacting “disciplinary” measures.”

“…agony are hilarious and pleasurable. Sadists go to great lengths to hurt others: they lie, deceive, commit crimes, and even make personal sacrifices merely so as to enjoy the cathartic moment of witnessing someone else’s misery.

“…As soon as the woman left the room he looked at me and began to smile and chuckle. He expressed that his pre-planned expression of rage was meant to instill fear in the woman and that he was sure she would be more conscientious about doing his bidding because of it. He also expressed disgust for her weakness. His deliberate use of rage when in fact he seemed in a jovial mood after the fact made me aware for the first time how rage can be used as a manipulation and control tactic and that it doesn’t have to arise out of genuine anger or hurt. The long self-aggrandizing speech this man then engaged in with me also let me know the degree to which he was willing to make his sense of his own power and worth dependent upon the degree to which he could make others feel powerless and worthless. This man was extremely adept at spotting fairly conscientious individuals in one-down positions in their lives who needed support and were willing to put up with his bullying behavior. He surrounded himself with these types of folks and relished opportunities to terrorize them.”http://counsellingresource.com/features/2008/11/13/understanding-the-sadistic-personality/

“Traditional theories on personality development have always presumed that individuals like the sadistic personality became the way they are out of deep-seated feelings of inferiority or as a reaction to being themselves severely abused or demeaned as children. While it sometimes turns out that such things may be factors, there is no evidence to suggest that all such personalities have such characteristics in their background, although many will lie about it to engender the sympathy of others. Rather, it seems that the majority of these individuals simply consider themselves as superior to those whom they perceive as weak and take particular delight for pure entertainment’s sake in the torture of others.”http://counsellingresource.com/features/2008/11/13/understanding-the-sadistic-personality/

I was there, not with them, but was there- they took a cab,and left in a cab- you are lying- so produce the tape, or are you the girl who works there, I know who you are, Rincons buddy-you are on his freinds list- that I have a copy of- bring out that tape, or be prepared to suffer at the hand of a blog that aint so nice,you will be on blast- for lying. Prove it or- guess, what BIGS, is a place where ex cops can fondle chicks with the girl bartenders approval, maybe all the schools in the area should know this? see how this works, or in your case -how is doesnt,you lie, we catch you then exopse you for the liar you are, and the establishment that is the petri dish for molesting aint that special?Now email Rincon, and call me a hater, if a hater is exposing liars and molester sympathizers, then I am a HATER. PROVE IT, you cant- you are a liar.

Reality Is :Never been to Pomona. Do white people even dare go to Pomona? Risky.

The only time I have been to Pomona, driving through- fast, but all I saw was fat mustached looking want- to -be- cops, white tweekers and old ladies. So not sure, the risk involved, unless you are stating, white people arent cops or tweekers-or old. Im serious, do you ever go back and look at your post and think, damn did I really say that?

So, sexual molestation is what we can expect if we run into an ex-cop, or active cop?? That’s good to know. Thanks. I don’t think anyone, in any way, shape or form, is “disperate” [sic] for that “experience.” At least now we know which establishments to stay clear of. And, we also know that john doe is a sympathizer for cop molesters. What a surprise. NOT

“The man, who didn’t know his victim, came up behind her, shoved his hand up her skirt and grabbed both her buttocks and genital area, police say. Before walking away, the man locked eyes with this victim.”

The similarities in this behavior and that described by Rincon’s victims are striking. Additionally, the screen shot of Rincon’s FB page describing the buttocks squeezing–sounds like his thing, too. Scary.

FULLERTON, Calif. (KABC) — A search is under way for a man who sexually assaulted a woman who was walking along a Fullerton street, and police say this may not be his only attack.

On Thursday, March 15, the victim was walking in the area of Calle Don Juan north of Las Palmas Drive shortly before 10 a.m. when the suspect approached her from behind, grabbed her buttocks and then grabbed her groin.
